Carlos Cortes returns to action for the Oakland Athletics against the Kansas City Royals and pitcher Michael Wacha on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 9:40 p.m. ET. Cortes recently reached base in all three plate appearances and is currently riding an 8-game hitting streak.

Cortes' 2026 season statistics show a .387 batting average with 5 doubles, 1 triple, 4 home runs, and 7 walks across 23 games played.

For this matchup, the betting props are set at 0.5 hits (Over odds: -250) and 0.5 runs (Over odds: +125).
